I'm a little late writing my blog post tonight because I needed to find a good picture of myself for something, so I was looking for one on my computer. I couldn't find much appropriate (pictures of me with clown make-up on aren't considered very professional, right?) so I had a look on Facebook at the pictures I've been tagged in.
Cue a good long while of flipping though pictures from four or more years ago, a bit of wistfulness, and much repetition of the question "what the hell happened to us all?"
I know we're meant to be mindful and not dwell on the past, but I can't help thinking what if the best time of our lives has already been and gone? What if being a late teen/early twenties girl was the best it was ever going to get and nothing will feel as happy, as good and as carefree?
Which I know is silly - of course there will be other amazing times. And I know we're not supposed to dwell on the past, but there's something nice about reminiscing. I think it's just a case of being mindful of your thoughts and not providing space in your head for the negative ones. Maybe if your brain is so full of positive thoughts, there won't be room for anything else.
